I don’t know if I’m gonna totally rewire the whole boat or just work out the bugs. Not sure if I’m gonna keep it. It’s in really good shape and it would be a perfect candidate for a repower eventually. I really wanted a center console but who knows….. I could run this until it doesn’t run anymore and slap a newer 4 stroke on it in the future. Not sure yet, but I should be in the water soon.

Great news Charlie. It always feels good when you work out a problem and suddenly the whole world seems brighter. As for a center console, I know everyone has their opinion(s) but the cuddy just seems right for me. I can anchor up and go to sleep overnight in mine if I want, my wife and daughter can change into bathing suits if they desire and lets not forget the privacy afforded when using the porta potty. And last but not least, you can lock all your electronics, etc. in there while you trailer to the water or to home. Especially important if you stop for gas or coffee or lunch. Those things can disappear in a second.
